13:59Now PlayingBeautiful, brilliant and free-spirited – that's how Ana Thallas remembers her daughter, Isabella, who was murdered by a stranger two days after her 21st birthday.
Isabella's death had a profound effect on the city. Hundreds of people gathered to remember her days after the shooting, and a Denver park was renovated in her memory, with a mural painted by a local artist. There's a permanent memorial in the Ballpark neighborhood where she died.
But to Ana, she lost her precious child. Her daughter who loved art and fashion, who desired independence, and moved in with her boyfriend, Darian Simon, a month before they were both shot on June 10, 2020, while walking Darian's dog past an apartment building at West 29th Avenue and Huron Street.
Weeks after Isabella's killer was found guilty, Ana Thallas sat down with 9NEWS to talk about her daughter, the shooting, the trial, and the heartbreak of a mother enduring the unthinkable.
